Yate Youth Cafe: Mentee Artist Oliver Harker attached to Public Art Programme(05/07/2010) |
Artpoint has attached Abingdon based artist Oliver Harker to the Yate Youth Café Public Art Programme. Oliver, who grew up in Yate is interested in the application of chemical, physical and scientific principles to the creation of art and how everyday objects can be used to encourage people question the potential behind the materials they see every day. As mentee artist for the project, Oliver will be involved in all aspects of the programme development. This mentoring position has been developed to provide the opportunity for an emerging artist to gain access to the processes that surround the creation of large scale integrated public artworks. A video of Oliver’s sculptural work ‘Elecrtomagnetic no.3’ can be found here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYLVSNjG43o (copy into the address bar of your internet browser). |
